Oakley is releasing the new "Radar Lock" in April.

Almost got a pair of the Fast Jackets...but they remind me too much of baseball players.

got 2 things for you on that.
1. wear a headband, headsweat, skullcap, or anything similar. there is a little bit less ventilation but they keep a ton of sweat out of your eyes which is worth it. this time of year I'm 50/50 on a headsweat but come summertime 90-105 degree rides, I wear one every ride.
2. buy the oakley hydrophobic pen. https://www.oakley.com/products/6730/25107 a small demo should've come with your sunglasses. it works like magic but you have to reapply periodically, especially if you wash your lenses with soap.

I use Native Sprints. I like them, and I got them for a great deal.

i have mirrored and clear three dollar fake wayfarers. they work awesomely, and i rear pocket the other pair and can switch lenses while rolling. however, anything else like the smith pivlocks and the rudy project hypermask? id like to try some without a top on the frame.

REI sells a cheap brand called Peppers which are terrific. Well made and grippy with polarized lenses for about $40. Ive had a pair that's lasted for years.

That may be, but it certainly has been more closely associated with that crowd now and most people probably will make that mental association as well. it's like Timberland's been around long time, but now is viewed more as urban hipster or hip hop get-ups.

Also, I think I just found my next pair of shades : the Oakley factory pilot. Those are bad-ass.

Bolle has some nice ones and won't break the bank. My personal best are not even made anymore: Briko.

I have the Smith Optics Pivlock v90 and I like them except that they are really uncomfortable around the ears. I wish they were a bit more adjustable.
